Planning on hosting another card game night this month. Was thinking of doing it not this weekend but the following weekend, Friday or Saturday.

Well made it back from the UP yesterday put on 640 miles on 3 days of riding. Stayed in Bergland, gotta love the small bars up there beer was cheaper to buy vs buying a pop. Our bill for 4 of us who all had a burger and fries and 2 drinks a person was only $44.... Sled ran like a champ after she got broken in I rode it like I stole it the rest of the time trails were good for the majority of the morning/afternoon but by nightfall it was brutal. Wish some of my fellow Z brotherens would get a snowmobile!!!

Even weirder, a coworker is a cousin of the guy and is going to the wake. Sad. This same coworker lost an uncle a few years ago. The uncle was a cop who got murdered. I went to that funeral. Very sad.

So I'm getting bored, and its nice out...and I'm thinking about picking up an Ebay front lip just to see if it actually fits. I know I should just save that money and put it towards some window tint, but I'm getting real antsy to do something

I hear ya. I'm looking at the Invidia Gemini CBE.

So here's my question and/or dilemma. They make 3 different setups, or at least 3 different tips. What would you guys do in this case?

Buy the one with the SS tips?
Buy the one with the rolled titanium tips?
Buy the one with the single layer titanium tips?

And why? What's the difference between the 2 titanium tips style? Besides the obvious.

Im not a fan of the rolled tips, at all. Rolled is where they roll the edge back into the exhaust exit, single layer tip is what style you have now.

I kind of like the rolled tips because it started out as rolled when I bought the Z.

I'd definitely go rolled. SS or burnt tips doesn't matter to me

Just an update for my MN br0s. Devin is struggling with his Crohn's right now and is not doing well. I'm so used to us all being healthy and doing whatever we want, but now I have to reevaluate everything. We can't do as much as we used to, and now Tara and I have to tag team to stay at home and take care of him. He's missed school for days now because he can't sit or do anything w/o his hemorrhoids forcing him to the toilet. It really sucks because it is putting him through a lot of pain, and he's not getting enough nutrients which I think makes him go do the #2 more often. Vicious cycle. It's tough trying to help him while he's constantly crying in pain, he can't sleep, he can't play, he's literally stuck in the house trying to stay comfortable.

We've seen doctors and asked how to make him better and more comfortable. Epsom salt baths, Tuck's medicated pads, prescription creams, etc are not helping like we want it. All we can do is constantly tend to his pain and keep him clean. He's depressed about it all and just wants to be better and to understand why he's sick. I can't imagine what it's like since I've never had anything even close to his symptoms.

Sorry for the story, but I had to get it off my chest. So if I have to excuse myself from events and meets, it's because I need to be at home and help him and Tara.
